Getting Started

A good way of getting started toward conserving your property is to talk with the Trust about your conservation or preservation goals, your family's needs and wishes, your property's special features, and your financial situation. While some methods of conserving land or historic buildings are discussed briefly below, we can provide you with detailed information about various conservation techniques as prepared by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust. Or you can obtain their booklet and other material directly from their web site. We can also offer insight into how your goals can be meshed with our mission and purposes to achieve a successful result.

Ways of Conserving
The three main methods of preserving your land or building are through a conservation easement, through a donation, and through a sale.
